2019 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Performance
Paired with the Performance Package 1, the Mustang EcoBoost Premium is fun to drive.
The 2.3L EcoBoost Mustang is fun to drive, handles very nicely and sounds good with the Active Exhaust System included in our tester. It’s proof that you don’t necessarily need a V8 under the hood to sound and feel good on the road.
This Mustang makes 310 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque and you can get it with a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic. I tested it with a six-speed manual that shifts nicely.
While you don’t get the deep growl of a V8, the Active Exhaust system on the EcoBoost Premium offers control over the exhaust and delivers a beautiful sound while driving. There’s a quiet start mode so that you don’t annoy your neighbors, and you can also take it all the way up to Track volume with controls separate from the Track driving mode.
Quickly choose your drive mode.
On the road, the torque makes this EcoBoost Mustang shine with quick acceleration and a fun driving experience. With the manual, line-lock makes burnouts a breeze and the multiple drive modes let you easily toggle between commuting in traffic to tearing up a country road.
The steering is quite good with a nice light feel in comfort mode and more weigh in Normal and Sport modes. Switching drive and steering modes is as simple as toggling the switches in the lower center of the dash, so you can quickly choose the right mode for your mood or situation.
With the optional Magne-Ride damping system the Mustang is very comfortable as a daily driver, while still offering a fun when it’s time for spirited driving.
The cluster changes with the drive mode.
There’s no shame in skipping the V8 and buying an EcoBoost Mustang. This car is fun, priced right and practical when it comes to fuel economy.
Even with the performance upgrades, the 2019 Mustang EcoBoost Premium is rated for 27 MPG highway and 20 MPG city, with a combined 23 MPG. If you pass on the Performance Package you can get up to 31 MPG highway with the manual and up to 32 MPG highway with the automatic.
2019 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Interior
Beautiful lines and that well known Mustang look.
The 2019 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Fastback seats four, but it’s best with two or three people in the car thanks to a small backseat and restricted access.
Inside the EcoBoost Premium’s leather interior comes with heated and cooled seats. Our model featured Leather Recaro Sport Seats that offer more aggressive bolsters. They were still comfortable for cruising, but if you plan to take this on long trips and you are bigger like me, you may want to stick with the original seats.
The interior of the Premium features soft-touch leather and surfaces throughout as well as accent stitching. The driver and front passenger have plenty of room and with dual climate controls you can stay at the right temp.
The Ambient Lighting fills the cabin with soft lighting in your preferred color, which you can even choose specifically using color wheels. This is a cool feature that lets you customize your Mustang without spending extra cash.
On the outside, this is instantly recognizable as a Mustang. The Performance Spoiler is perfectly proportioned and the classic three-blade turn signals complete the look. The side-view mirrors shine a Mustang on the ground, which is an attention-drawing feat.
A different breed
On the road, the changes Ford made add up to a lot more than just an EcoBoost Mustang with a little extra horsepower. The HPP transforms this car, giving it a character very different to the traditional V8 Mustang.
Instead of an all-American V8 roar, this Mustang emits the sound of a European hot hatchback. The HPP includes an active exhaust system that lets the driver choose different levels of loudness, from Quiet mode to Track mode. Switch it to Track mode, and you get a nice mechanical growl, accompanied by the whistle of the turbocharger. It’s a great soundtrack, and one we never expected to hear from a Mustang.
Stephen Edelstein/Digital Trends
Like the exhaust note, the driving experience proves that you can teach an old Mustang new tricks. With its independent rear suspension, the current-generation Mustang was already pretty good in corners. But the HPP takes things to a whole new level. The tire, chassis, and brake upgrades – combined with the EcoBoost engine’s lighter weight – create quick, precise reactions that are more sports car than muscle car. Ford’s engineers weren’t kidding about usable power, either. This engine has remarkable flexibility, with ample power available throughout the rev range.
We tested cars equipped with both the 10-speed automatic transmission and the six-speed manual, and prefer the latter. The automatic is fine for highway cruising, but in the heat of battle it can be frustratingly indecisive. It constantly juggles its many gears for no obvious benefit. Granted, you can shift manually using steering wheel paddles, but if you’re going to do that, why not just get the manual?
The driving experience proves that you can teach an old Mustang new tricks
We also tested cars with the optional Handling Package, which adds more aggressive Pirelli P Zero Corsa 4 summer tires, a limited-slip differential for better traction, and Ford’s MagneRide dampers. They automatically adjust firmness based on a number of factors, ranging from speed to outside air temperature. The result is great handling without the penalty of a harsh ride. We were able to corner just as quickly with MagneRide as with the base suspension, but we were a lot more comfortable while doing it.
Downsizing from a V8 to an inline-four should come with a big boost in gas mileage. The 2020 Mustang EcoBoost HPP coupe is rated at 23 mpg combined (20 mpg city, 28 mpg highway) with the 10-speed automatic transmission, and loses one mpg in the highway category with the six-speed manual (convertibles lose an additional mpg in the highway category with both transmissions). That’s an improvement over a 2020 Mustang GT, which musters 19 mpg combined (16 mpg city, 25 mpg highway) with the automatic, but it’s not as dramatic as the difference in displacement might indicate. Expect fuel economy to take a hit when you drive aggressively, too.
Stephen Edelstein/Digital Trends
The High Performance Package also comes with a fuel-economy penalty compared to the base Mustang EcoBoost, which is rated at 25 mpg combined with the automatic, and 24 mpg with the manual. The four-cylinder Camaro (ratings are the same with or without the 1LE package) gets better gas mileage with the automatic, at 25 mpg combined (22 mpg city, 31 mpg highway). But opting for a stick shift brings the race to a virtual dead heat, with the Chevy rated identically to the Ford in the combined and city categories, and an advantage of just two mpg highway.
Summary
The Mustang EcoBoost was once the car you bought if you couldn’t afford the V8-powered Mustang GT, but the High Performance Package has transformed the four-cylinder Mustang into something desirable. The combination of classic Mustang looks and the type of engine normally found in hot hatchbacks is a good one. The High Performance Package is also less hardcore than a Chevy Camaro 1LE, and more likely to work as a daily driver.
However, there are other options for buyers willing to broaden their horizons. Two-seat sports cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata/Fiat 124 Spider and Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 twins, as well as the Nissan 370Z can be had for similar money. So can a Volkswagen GTI or Subaru WRX, which are more practical than any of these cars. One thing is for sure: it’s a great time to be shopping for an affordable performance car.
Hot hatch DNA
The 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost engine used in the Mustang is related to the engine from the Ford Focus RS – the Blue Oval’s ultimate hot hatchback. That got some engineers at Ford’s Arizona proving ground thinking, “What if we put a Focus RS engine in a Mustang?”
So a team of five engineers took the engine out of a Focus RS test mule, turned it 90 degrees to fit the Mustang’s rear-wheel drive layout, and tested it out. The result was so good that Ford’s top brass approved the car for production, Carl Widmann, Mustang chief engineer, told Digital Trends.
Stephen Edelstein/Digital Trends
The HPP people can actually buy wasn’t a straightforward engine swap, though. After proving the basic concept, engineers refined it to create a performance car with a different feel to the hyperactive (and no-longer-in-production) Focus RS. The Mustang uses the same engine block and cylinder head as the Focus RS, churned out be the same Valencia, Spain, factory. But the Mustang has a different turbocharger, a different exhaust system, and radiator, and different transmissions, including a Getrag six-speed manual and the 10-speed automatic shared with other Ford models, like the Ranger pickup truck.
The difference is apparent in the specs. The HPP’s 330-hp output (on premium fuel) is 20 more than a base EcoBoost Mustang, but 18 hp less than the Focus RS. With the Mustang, engineers were going for usability, not sheer horsepower, Widmann said. A bigger horsepower number might give owners more to brag about, but accessing that power would be harder. In contrast to the peak power delivery of the Focus RS, the Mustang makes all of its power through a broad swath of the rev range, all the way up to the engine’s 6,500-rpm redline, according to Widmann.
The changes add up to a lot more than just an EcoBoost Mustang with extra horsepower.
It’s the same thing with torque. Output is the same 350 pound-feet you get in a base EcoBoost Mustang, as well as the Focus RS. But 90 percent of that torque is available between 2,500 rpm and 5,300 rpm. Again, availability through a wider area of the tachometer’s sweep makes it easier to access the power on tap.
Ford claims the HPP allows the Mustang to do zero to 60 mph in the mid four seconds range. Top speed is estimated at 155 mph, compared to 131 mph for a car without the performance package. In addition to making the car faster in a straight line, Ford added a strut tower brace to stiffen the chassis, and stickier summer performance tires mounted on 19-inch wheels. The HPP also includes upgraded brakes from the Mustang GT, with larger four-piston calipers and front rotors.
Больше, чем силовая игра
Ford также стремился расширить кривую крутящего момента, которая теперь обеспечивает 90 процентов своего пикового значения от 2500 до 5300 оборотов в минуту, что, как утверждается, на 40 процентов больше, чем у стандартного 2.3-литрового двигателя Mustang. Форд сказал, что кривая мощности также выигрывает, оставаясь сильнее, когда двигатель приближается к красной черте 6500 об / мин. Двигатель может работать в паре с шестиступенчатой механической коробкой передач Getrag или с 10-ступенчатой автоматической коробкой передач, и, как и в предыдущем пакете Performance Pack, задний мост с ограниченным проскальзыванием 3.55: 1 находится сзади. Полностью активный выхлоп с четырьмя наконечниками входит в комплектацию.
Хотя окончательных цифр еще нет, Ford заявляет о времени разгона от 60 до 2019 миль в час в среднем четырехсекундном диапазоне на топливе премиум-класса, что примерно на полсекунды быстрее, чем мы зафиксировали с Chevrolet Camaro Turbo 1 года. 1ЛЕ. Мы уверены, что это не совпадение, и вы можете поспорить, что Ford с самого начала присматривался к Turbo 155LE. На всякий случай Ford поднял ограничитель скорости до 10 миль в час, что на 34 миль в час больше, чем у предыдущего пакета Performance, и на XNUMX мили в час больше, чем у стандартного Mustang EcoBoost.
2019 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Tech, Sound and Safety
Ford offers one of the best infotainment systems with Sync 3 on the 2019 Mustang. The screen is easy to see, touch is responsive and the standard system is easy to use. Where it shines is with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and FordPass Connect. You get Alexa in your car with Sync 3 so you can get navigation info an use a ton of Alexa skills as well as control your smart home.
I spend most of my time in Apple CarPlay which offers fast access to phone calls, messages, music and Waze so I can avoid traffic and know when there’s a good reason to slow down.
The 12-inch all-digital Cluster lets you choose colors and gauge styles.
With the EcoBoost Premium, you also get a second screen with an all-digital 12-inch LCD cluster that offers loads of customization options and looks incredibly cool. With this digital cluster, you get a different look for each drive mode and the system knows which mode you were in and can return you to that drive mode when you get back in the car. This includes drive mode, steering, and even exhaust. You can also choose a specific mode as default. You can change the color of the cluster to match your personal style or your car’s color.
There are track apps n the digital cluster that allows you to see g-forces, acceleration time and lap times plus countdowns. This is also where you access the Electronic line-lock to easily do burnouts.
The B&O Premium Sound System is great, immersing you in the music with 12 speakers, including a subwoofer in the trunk. I highly recommend this upgrade.
FordPass Connect puts a 4G LTE connection in the car. This lets you use your car as a personal hotspot to get a tablet or computer online. It also allows for remote control.
Use Track Apps to easily do a burnout in the 2019 Mustang EcoBoost.
You can use this connection and an app to lock and unlock or sound an alarm from your phone. If you have the automatic transmission, you can also use this to remote start the car so that it’s cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Driver convenience features vary based on the packages you choose. With Equipment Group 201A you get blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. I like this feature on the Mustang due to the limited visibility in blind spots.
You can opt for a Ford Safe and Smart Package that adds in several other features for $1,000. With this upgrade you get;
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Auto High Beam Headlamps
- Lane-Keeping Alert
- Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection – Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support
- Rain-sensing Windshield Wipers
It would be nice to see these included with the Premium package, but if you want to round out your driver assistance features and if you plan to take this Mustang on a lot of road trips, it’s a package you should consider adding.
Sleeper ‘Stang
In fan circles, a “sleeper” is a car that hides its performance capabilities behind nondescript bodywork. That’s exactly what this Mustang is. While a Mustang is always likely to attract a certain level of attention, this car’s lack of “5.0” and “GT” badges (indicating a V8 model) or the coiled snake of a Shelby GT350 or GT500, will lead the uninitiated to dismiss it as a refugee from a rental car lot. That’s part of the fun.
Stephen Edelstein/Digital Trends
Those in the know will be able to spot a Mustang HPP through a few discrete details. The four-cylinder car gets a front splitter, belly pan, and brake-cooling ramps from the V8 Mustang GT Performance Package. These add-ons actually help reduce front-end lift and improve brake cooling, according to Ford. The 19-inch wheels, gray hood stripes, and badging are more about looks. The latter two items look like they came from Pep Boys. Along with the scowling front end all non-Shelby Mustangs adopted as part of a 2018-model-year refresh, they’re the only cosmetic blemishes on an otherwise fine-looking car.
Other than an aluminum dashboard panel, and oil and turbo-boost gauges most owners will probably never use, the interior is unchanged. The Mustang’s interior doesn’t have the clean, minimalist look of the Camaro’s, but it doesn’t have the Chevy’s bunker-like feel, either. Neither car can match the spacious feel of the Dodge Challenger’s cavernous interior, but the Dodge is just too big. It isn’t in the same league as the Mustang or Camaro when it comes to driving dynamics, so it isn’t really a fair comparison.
A “sleeper” is a car that hides its performance capabilities behind nondescript bodywork. That’s exactly what this Mustang is.
Like other Mustang models, the EcoBoost HPP gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen running Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster is also available, replacing the analog gauges with a reconfigurable display that can show up to eight virtual gauges They range from simple dials in Normal mode to a more elaborate setup in Sport+. The graphics were nice to look at an easy to read, but we’re also fans of the base analog gauge setup, complete with a speedometer labeled “ground speed.”

The practical stuff
The Mustang is pretty light on driver aids. Autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are available, but only as optional extras. But it’s a similar story with other sporty cars in this price range.
Ford offers a three-year, 36,000-mile, bumper-to-bumper warranty and a five-year, 60,000-mile, powertrain warranty. Chevy offers identical coverage terms for its Camaro. The Mustang received a below-average reliability score from Consumer Reports, and does not have the best overall reputation for reliability. But that’s the case with the Camaro as well.
The 2020 Mustang received a five-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). At the time of publication, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) had only tested a 2019 model, but ratings should apply to the 2020 model as well. The IIHS gave the Mustang coupe the top “good” score in all crash tests except the driver-side small frontal overlap, where the Mustang was rated “average.”
аппаратные средства
Ford добавил множество настроек и модернизировал несколько компонентов, чтобы гарантировать, что шасси выдержит свою часть сделки. Распорка опоры стойки из сплава придает жесткость шасси спереди и делает повороты более острыми, в то время как 1.3-дюймовый сплошной передний стабилизатор поперечной устойчивости и трубчатый 0.9-дюймовый стержень сзади помогают контролировать наклон и раскачивание. Комплект 13.9-дюймовых передних роторов поставляется от Mustang GT, а на каждом колесе установлены четырехпоршневые суппорты. Подвижной состав составляют алюминиевые диски размером 19 на 9 дюймов с обработанной поверхностью и летние шины 255/40R, и, чтобы убедиться, что оборудование работает наилучшим образом, Ford придумал новые специальные калибровки для усилителя рулевого управления с электронным управлением. , антиблокировочная система торможения, контроль устойчивости и пять режимов движения, выбираемых водителем.
Большой черный передний сплиттер и поддон, а также рампы охлаждения тормозов из пакета Mustang GT Performance уменьшают подъемную силу передней части и улучшают охлаждение тормозов. Затемненная решетка радиатора со смещенной трехполосной эмблемой Mustang, боковые значки пакета High Performance объемом 2.3 литра, полосы на капоте, серые магнитные боковые зеркала заднего вида и задний спойлер с приподнятым лезвием — все это входит в пакет High Performance. В салоне табличка с серийным номером на приборной панели и алюминиевая приборная панель, изготовленная из литейного двигателя, дополняют тему производительности.
